Hawkes Bay Sports Fishing Club

Last night at the Hawkes Bay Sports Fishing Club, we drew the $2050.00 Autotech Membership draw at 5.30pm.

It wasn’t struck so, we took $1000.00 and made it a ‘Must Go’!

After drawing a handful of names that weren’t there, we drew Alex Smith (Past President and Life Member) to come and collect the loot from sponsor, Ricky Edmonds.

Napier Port have been supporters of Hawkes Bay Sports Fishing Club for many years, since the inception of the Napier Port Family Fishing Classic.

Being close neighbours of ours and having a long list of staff as our club members, we thank them for their commitment to us and the HB fishing community.

They’ve got a pretty cool spot on the grid map also.
